BLACK DRAGON ANNOUNCES CADDO PINE ISLAND LEASE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Black Dragon Closes On 640 Acre Lease in Caddo-Pine Island Field

OIL CITY, La., Oct 8, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- BDGR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. ("the Company", "Dragon") (Pink Sheets:BDGR) has announced the closing of the agreement to acquire an interest in a 640 acre lease in the Caddo-Pine Island Field in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. This was reported in progress in earlier releases. This is a very attractive oil and gas region. Black Dragon has rights from the surface down to the top of the Haynesville Shale reservoir, and the depths below the Haynesville. However, as a good extra, the Company also obtained a royalty override in the Haynesville. The Haynesville is a highly productive gas zone at depths around 9000 ft. A major gas company has the majority interest in this Shale in this lease. The Haynesville Shale stretches across East Texas and North Louisiana. It has been highly productive and has been exploited most recently by several major gas companies for its immense reserves. Holding a percentage in the Shale is an attractive economic asset for Dragon.
Black Dragon CEO, Dr. Bailey, reported that on one side of the new lease, a new well was drilled that is producing around 29 mmscf a month and 190 barrels of oil. On the other side of Dragon's lease is another new well, perhaps the largest ever in the Cotton Valley zone there, producing 11 mmscf per month. This bodes well for the Dragon potential with a number of oil and gas zones.
Dragon has engaged Petrolind Drilling Co. to drill two gas wells as soon as permits are approved by the Department of Conservation. It is expected that drilling will commence within the next 60 days in the Nacatoch zone around 1000 ft. In this upper zone, Dragon has an 80% revenue interest, with a 75% working interest. The potential of this lease remains to be proven, but these first two wells have the potential to add attractive reserves. Pending commercialization of this project, it will open the opportunity for several more wells in this program. Also below the gas zone there are other oil reservoirs that might also be targeted.
Black Dragon is an oil and gas exploration and production company currently focused on the acquisition of mature, producing and existing domestic oil and gas fields. This focus has eliminated exploration risk, reduced costs of completion, and provided rapid generation of income in a niche market where larger independent and major oil companies are not positioned to compete. Black Dragon intends to recomplete additional shallow producing wells and to expand its focus to include drilling of new wells some to deeper levels and to purchase additional leases.

Disco. The shale in North Caddo looks less productive than in other regions of the Play but it's obviously of some value as deals like this may be intended to HBP leases without that "major gas company" being required to drill now to hold the lease. And the science derived from the HA and SMK wells drilled in the area where the Longwood Field meets the Caddo Pine Island may have revealed shallower pay zones. Those zones may be more attractive to a smaller operator such as Black Dragon. And the "major gas company" provided an incentive by including an override on the HS in the unit. Now the question is the identity of the "major gas company" and which section/unit will BD drill. Of course those who prefer can simply wait until BD's well permits hit SONRIS. Those that would rather do some sleuthing of their own can use the hints included in the report concerning the producing wells on each side of the lease. Remember to divide the production by 30 as they are monthly totals. Not mmcfd.

A new, and "corrected" report from Black Dragon. I wonder if the person writing this release realizes how deceptive and amateurish it is? I would guess "yes" on the former and "no" on the later. No one knowledgeable about O&G investments would touch this with a ten foot pole.

Electro. I'm not worried about savvy O&G investors, they can tell right off that this is a bogus deal. As for less savvy investors, caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware". I'm just a little concerned for the locals up your way. And hope that the word gets passed around and no one is hurt by the actions of BD.
